In New Jersey, you must pass the MVC Permit Test to start driving. The test is based on the official New Jersey Driver Manual (New Jersey Driver Manual) and uses the same multiple-choice format and scoring as the real MVC exam.

The MVC permit test has 50 multiple-choice questions, and you need 80% to pass.

This is our second New Jersey Permit Practice Test, current for May 2026. Each question has four answer options – choose the best one based on your knowledge of road signs and traffic rules. If you’re unsure, optional hints can help (the real test has no hints).

If you make a mistake, read the explanation carefully so you don’t repeat it. You can retake the test as often as you want; questions will be randomized each time.

How to use New Jersey Test 2

Treat this as a second read, not a repeat of the first practice test.

1

Start with Highway Driving

This is one of the main areas in this test pool, so review the rule before another scored attempt.

2

Use fresh wording for NJ rules

Test 2 changes the question mix so you can separate understanding from memorized answers.

3

Move to Test 3 after repeat misses drop

Use Test 3 to confirm that highway driving plus sharing the road no longer pull your score down.
